Abstract

Concrete prevents corrosion of reinforcing bars due to its strong alkalinity. However, in the sea, strong alkali components with a pH of 12 to 13 are eluted, which adversely affects the ecological environment and growth of marine organisms. In this study, the mechanical properties and durability of the low alkali mortar were evaluated for the development of a low alkali mortar for the 3D printed artificial reefs. As a result of evaluation of strength characteristics, the α-35 mixture, which were produced with fly ash, silica fume and α-hemihydrate gypsum, satisfied the strength requirement 27 MPa in terms of compressive strength. As a result of pH measurement, it was found that mixing with alpha-type hemihydrate gypsum resulted in minimizing pH due to the the formation of calcium sulfate instead of calcium hydroxide production. As a result of the chloride ion penetration resistance test, the α-35 mixture exhibited the best performance, 3844C. As a result of measuring the length change over time, the α-35 mixture showed the shrinkage 33.5% less compared to the Plain mix.

콘크리트는 강알칼리성으로 인해 철근의 부식을 방지하는 장점이 있으나, 해중에 침지되면 해수의 평균 pH 8~9 보다 높은 pH 12~13의 강알칼리 성분을 용출하여 주변의 미생물 및 해양생물의 생태환경 및 성장에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3D 프린터로 제작되는 인공어초용 저알칼리 모르타르 배합을 도출하기 위하여 저알칼리 모르타르의 역학적 특성 및 내구성능을 평가하였다. 강도 특성 평가결과 결합재로 실리카퓸, 플라이애시, 알파형반수석고 모두 혼입한 α-35배합에서 Plain 을 제외하고 가장 우수한 특성을 나타내었으며, 인공어초 품질기준인 27MPa를 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. pH는 알파형반수석고 혼입시 수산화칼슘 생성 억제와 황산칼슘 생성으로 인해 pH저감 효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 염소이온침투저항성 실험결과, 실리카퓸 및 플라이애시 혼입시 일부 내염성이 개선되었으며, 알파형반수석고 와 혼합사용한 α-35 배합에서 3844C의 가장 우수한 염소이온침투저항성을 확인하였다. 길이변화율 측정결과, 알파형반수석고 35%대체시 OPC배합조건보다 33.5% 개선된 수축저항성을 나타내었다.
